NAME

LAM - introduction to Local Area Multicomputer (LAM)

DESCRIPTION

LAM is an MPI programming environment and development system for a
message-passing parallel machine constituted with heterogeneous UNIX
computers on a network. With LAM, a dedicated cluster or an existing
network computing infrastructure can act as one parallel computer
solving one compute-intensive problem. LAM emphasizes productivity in
the application development cycle with extensive control and monitoring
functionality. The user can easily debug the common errors in parallel
programming and is well equipped to diagnose more difficult problems.
LAM features a full implementation of the MPI communication standard,
with the exception that the MPI_CANCEL function will not properly
cancel messages that have been sent.
UserInformation
Users are strongly encouraged to read the LAM/MPIUser'sGuide that is
included with the LAM/MPI distribution, and is provided on the main
LAM/MPI web site (http://www.lam-mpi.org/).
